Camping in Puglia
Holidays in Puglia
Impossibly pretty whitewashed towns rising, like fondant icing, above hills that erupt from arid plains and olive groves. A deeply indented coastline, where emerald waters wash over pale gold sands, and the brave (or foolhardy) dive from rocky platforms into the glistening Ionian Sea. Puglia is a true feast for the senses. Festivals that ignite the sky with fireworks almost every weekend in summer. Here, in the deep south of Italy (the ‘heel’ to Italy’s boot) there’s a drama and beauty that’s unmatched anywhere else in this kaleidoscopic country.
It’s hot - let’s get that out of the way for starters - and the landscape can look parched. But those hill towns, with their winding streets, crumbling frescos and magnificent churches, are a sight to behold. Hunker down in a tree-lined square for some of the best seafood you’ve ever had. Return to the coast for a cooling splash in the Ionian Sea, and enjoy a warm, genuinely family-friendly welcome wherever you go. Puglia is fast becoming the hottest of all Italy’s hot spots. Go soon, and you’ll see why.
